Fellow Home Renovator
I set this website up because I love beautiful interiors but can’t afford to pay the professionals. As such, I’ve become a bit of a DIY designer and renovator. A practical, well designed home should be acessable to all. That’s why I want to share my interior design ideas with as many people as possible.
Since you’ve found this website, I’m assuming you love beautiful and practical interiors as much as I do. The truth is, I’m always looking for interior design ideas and building tips. While doing some research, I stumbled upon a fantastic manuscript by Mr. Bill Baker.
Mr Baker is one of the most well known and respected cabinet makers in recent history. I noticed that most of his work was available and accounted for with the exception of one of his most important pieces of work, ‘Make Your Own Built-Ins.
You’re probably now thinking this whole book is going to be about standard built in robes. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The 29 chapters cover almost every type of ‘built-in’ including:
- How to build a low-cost Luxury kitchen...and save on materials and the sneaky little tricks that the tradesmen use.
- How to make a built in shower and powder room. All the designs and steps are there for you to follow.
- How to build your very own Television Storage system...which will be the pride and joy of your lounge room.
- The secrets of how to build your wife the best Ironing centre...that will get you in her good books.
- How to build a stunning built-on couch...where you can go and have a little snooze in total comfort.
If this is the kind of information that you have been looking for, here’s the good news…
I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission to republish Mr. Bill Baker’s complete work on this website. Although I had to pay to have the manuscript reformatted and published online, renovating is my passion. Therefore, I want to share this book with as many people as possible for free.
The information is second to none and you’ll soon a beautiful and pratical house that will be the envy the of your guests.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Cheers and Happy Renovating
John McMahon

Paint Color: It's Only a Name!
A couple of years ago after an inspiring visit to the island of Santorini in Greece, I decided to go online to find a paint color that would help me recreate, in my own home, the saturated blue of the domed church roofs the island is famous for. But I was disappointed to find out that not all "Santorini Blues" are really, "Santorini Blue", and so I wondered, did the paint companies ever do any travelling or specific research to find out what color they were naming paint chips after? The answer is, most often not.
